Antonas/Tsakalou wedding, 1942

[cressie]

Hi All

I was sent this 1942 group Castellorizian Wedding photo by Antonio Vecchi from Italy. The bride and groom are unknown and the photo has nothing on the back. Known persons in the photo (by Antonio) are his father (Gino Vecchi), Yorgos Paltoglou and and his grand father Antonios Ghikas.

Has anyone seen this photo before or can recognise the bride and groom?



Any assistance appreciated.

Allan,

This is the wedding of Antonas Kyriakou Antonas and Chrysanthe Vasiliou Tsakalou from late 1942. It is one of the last weddings held on Castellorizo before the civilian evacuation in October 1943.

The couple's offspring reside in Adelaide. Among the families represented in the photo are members of the Fermanis, Paltoglou, Manettas, Papaioannou, Boyatzis, Exintaris, Kakas and Livissianis families.

I will post a more detailed list of the persons pictured soon.

Hi All

Thanks Nicholas for identifying the bride and groom. Any further identification of other persons in this wedding photo would be appreciated.
